TSgt Sebers, a 202 trained at Goodfellow, was killed in Vietnam. In August 2009, the indoor memorial to TSgt Sebers was completed. Along with a picture of TSgt Sebers, there is a plaque with a brief biography and a shadow box displaying his awards and decorations. Lt Col Erick Lawson, 316th Training Squadron commander, and CMSgt (Ret) Ed Bendinelli placed the shadow box on the wall in a ceremony witnessed by many members of the 316 TRS, including students attending 1N4 (202) training. We acknowledge and appreciate both the financial and moral support given to the Heritage Chapter by the 316 TRS and Goodfellow AFB during this project. - EC-47 Restoration Project: Our chapter continues to work on replicating the original interior of the aircraft; if you have any diagrams, pictures, etc. that may help please contact the Heritage Chapter. - Future Projects: Work with the base and the 316th TRS to honor other fallen comrades, such as MSgt John Ryan and TSgt Ray Leftwich, who have buildings on Goodfellow AFB named in their honor. |
